The Conics
8/3/2019 2 - Conic Sections-V2010
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2-conic-sections-v2010 2/45
Conics, an abbreviation for conic sections, are
curves that result from the intersection of a
right circular cone and a plane.
Depending on the angle of the plane relative to
the cone, the intersection can be a parabola, anellipse, a circle, or a hyperbola.

The general form of a second degree equation in 2
variables x, y is given by
ax2 +bxy + cy2 + dx +ey + f = 0
where a, b, c, d, e, and f are constants and at least one
of a, b, and c is nonzero .
The shapes of the corresponding graphs of the
equation depend on the values of these constants.

Standard Forms of the Parabola
The standard form of the equation of a parabola withvertex at the origin is
y2 = 4 p x or x 2 = 4 p y.
the focus is on the x -axis,which is the axis of symmetry.
the focus is on the y-axis,
which is the axis of symmetry.

Definition of an Ellipse
An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane such that the
sum of the distances of any point on the ellipse to two
other fixed points is a positive constant. These two fixed
points are called the foci.

Definition of an Ellipse
The midpoint of the segment connecting the foci is
the center of the ellipse.
The intersection of the ellipse and the line joining
the foci are the vertices of the ellipse.

Definition of an Ellipse
The segment between the 2 vertices is called the
major axis of the ellipse.
The segment perpendicular to the major axis and
intercepted by the ellipse is called the minor axisof the ellipse.
